Some Mixed Wires

I don't know who Jon Land is, but this is not a review of his book. This is a review of Labyrinth, by Taylor Branch. I guess the wires somewhere got switched around. Sorry folks... In any event, Labyrinth is the story of the assassination in Washington, DC, of Orlando Letelier by agents of the Chilean Government. It took place in the mid seventies in broad daylight by car bomb. This is a fascinating piece of writing, made all the more harrowing by the fact that it is true. The cast of characters includes the radical anti-Castro Omega 9, the Chilean secret police, known as Dina, the CIA, and the head of the DINA, Manual Contreras. Labyrinth is one of the most rivetting books I have ever read. It may be hard to find, but it is well worth the effort. I was up very late with this one. Do yourself a favor.
